    Has anyone gotten that game to work on XP?

    i know its super old, blah blah blah, but i had a blast playing it (imo, as fun as NFS:C)

    i tried the patch on the star wars site, but instead of white screen i get black screen.

    anyone know the solution?

    if you got it running, can you tell me how?

    thanks
